+
+The `bbb_gpio` binary sensor platform allows you to read sensor values of the GPIOs of your [BeagleBone Black](https://beagleboard.org/black).
+
+To use your BeagleBone Black's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+binary_sensor:
+ - platform: bbb_gpio
+   pins:
+     P8_12:
+       name: Door
+     GPIO0_26:
+       name: Window
+       bouncetime: 100
+       invert_logic: true
+       pull_mode: UP
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **pins** array (*Required*): Array of used pins.
+  - **pin_name** (*Required*): Pin numbers and corresponding names.
+    - **name** (*Required*): Friendly name to use for the frontend.
+    - **bouncetime** (*Optional*): Debounce time for reading input pin defined in miliseconds [ms]. Defaults to `50 ms`.
+    - **invert_logic** (*Optional*): If true, inverts the input logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is `false` (ACTIVE HIGH).
+    - **pull_mode** (*Optional*): Type of internal pull resistor connected to input. Options are 'UP' - pull-up resistor and 'DOWN' - pull-down resistor. Defaults to `UP`.
